Cake Fairies

This is my 22nd Annual 2005 San Diego Cake Club's Cakes on Parade Cake Contest entry in the Scuplture category. This cake didn't place in the top 3 but I got soooo many inquiries and postive comments on it. Appearently the crowds and my fellow decorators loved it, just not the judges. This was an engineering feat getting the flower bowl to stay on top of the "batter pour". Decorated in fondant, gumpaste, pastillage, royal icing, rice paper, and lots of pearl, luster dusts, and edible glitter.

The fairies are hand molded with a 1/2+1/2 mix of gum paste and fondant into 6 main pieces (body + 4 limbs+ head), the wings are rice paper (butterfly wings). They are "glued" on using gum arabic. They are "dressed" in royal icing using a leaf tip.
